The democrats are spineless, and republicans have used that to bully them into submission time and again for at least the last 25-30 years. Just look at Obama's first term, he had large majorities in both houses but still bent over to republican demands on the ACA, and democrats failed to get a number of their other policies pushed through because they let the republicans push them around. Yet when the GOP has both houses, even with smaller majorities, it's free reign and they can do whatever they want. It's pathetic
